Gene Details:

• Gene ID: CSS004414
• Gene Symbol: CsWRKY40
• Gene Name: WRKY transcription factor 40
• Genome:
• Species: Camellia sinensis

Functional Descriptions:

• Transcription factor CsWRKY40 regulates L-theanine hydrolysis by activating the CsPDX2.1 promoter in tea leaves during withering.
• The CsWRKY40 protein was located in the nucleoplasm, whereas CsPDX2.1 was found in both the nucleoplasm and cytoplasm.
• This suggests that the response of the transcription factor CsWRKY40 may be related to the water-induced ABA signal.
• Analysis of withering, water-retention, and water-loss treatments confirmed that water loss from tea leaves was the critical factor that affected ABA and L-theanine contents by activating the expression of CsWRKY40 and CsPDX2.1. Our results provide a new insight into the regulatory mechanism of L-theanine hydrolysis metabolism.
